Pros

None. We're just hanging on for dear life, trying to figure out why we haven't left yet. The pro is that our coworkers bond over similar grievances.

Cons

Know all that stuff you read about a bad startup culture? Well, Mixpanel is it and is the worst of it. If you want a really honest assessment of the situation, do yourself a HUGE favor and google "Uncanny Valley" published by nplusonemag. That piece is about Mixpanel and has been circulating internally. Yes. That piece is about us and it ain't pretty.

Pros

- Great product that re-invented the mobile and web analytics space - Incredible momentum as the mobile space grows - Standard perks like free lunches, dinners, happy hours, toys, referral bonuses - Annual ski trip to Tahoe and other outings - I've made a nice bit of money selling this product - Having Mixpanel on my resume has helped get job opportunities now that I'm planing to leave

Cons

- Relationship between sales (customer) and engineering (product) is terrible: total isolation and now confrontation as the company grows; it's like Revenge of the Nerds but in reverse - Frat culture: the CEO's three favorite things are talking about how much he likes to drink, comparing himself to a gangster rapper, and a juvenile lack of self-awareness - Revolving door of talent: some attrition is to be expected, but even senior-level managers and top performers are leaving in droves (some pretty quickly) - No strategy or focus on growth: some of the numbers look great but others really, really don't - Horrible leadership: yes, he's young and relatively inexperienced, but the CEO also just treats people pretty badly

Pros

(In comparison to the standard of any bay area based tech company) - free, catered daily lunch - happy hours & team outings roughly 4x per year - so many other startups & tech companies that get it = productive, winning cultures

Cons

- horrible culture, first time leadership - when great people leave (40+ out of 210), i would replace the CEO
